I saw Metamorphoses again
Quick notes:
-The scene with Phaeton reminded me a little of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (since the doctor/psychiatrist were female and the patients were all male )
-I forgot to mention this, but I loved the costumes and the masks. I was talking with my parents about the show, and my mom put it in good words "the costumes were only suggestions".
-I was reminded of acting class when Psyche sneaks up on Eros....hm......

Brief discussion (since I have to go to bed soon):
Portfolio: Some parts were stronger than others, I admit. I wasn't sure if I should be creative, or be conservative and save time. (I like what I did with "What is Art"....however, I worry that it may be cheezy. Oh well.)

WIP Art project (are we getting too tired to work on them?)
-It would be fun to record our thoughts, however I didn't expect our project to come out sounding negative....I want to make it a little happier, but I don't know if that would ruin the project.


"Real Life"- I loved how the movie seemed so serious and scientific, but somehow came off as a comedy. It was funny when they put dramatic music when the psychologist, Ted, and Albert start arguing, and when the cheezy montage does little to nothing for the plot! My favorite part was the ending where the house was set on fire "THIS IS REAL LIFE! THE HOUSE IS ACTUALLY ON FIREEEE!!!" I also liked those guys with the recorders on their heads.
-I liked the line "art, isn't that borrowing things and putting them together, isn't it?" (<-paraphrased)
-The scene where Albert Brooks starts to reference movies was great, too.

Lost in America- I didn't like this movie as much. The acting was good, but I didn't like either of the characters. They seemed too neurotic....
I found it interesting, a point brought up in our post-movie discussion, how you can go searching for yourself, but realize that you didn't actually need to search, since you were who you are. (Would that be a paradox, then, because you needed to go looking for yourself to find out that you are yourself?)
-I also found it impressive that they found a spot to park large enough to accommodate a large RV in NYC at what looked like rush hour.
-A good line: "Everyone says I'm the best man. They're right. I'm the best man today standing besides this guy who's the groom who's going to marry life" (paraphrased)

Star Trek episode:
-I love watching Star Trek episodes! It's neat to see the original cast....(I'm curious about the other editions, though. That episode of the next generation we saw was the 3rd episode I've seen out of all the seasons, so far.)
-I thought this episode was going to be the one where they were all in togas
-Can 1 person change history? (If the person wasn't around, would someone else come up with their idea?)
-I found it interesting...the fact that peace may not always be the answer at certain times....
-Kirk's reaction to the police=priceless. "Uh....Officer, I can explain...this here, my friend, is obviously Chinese...."
-Funny how the girl seems sort-of insignificant, at first, but then becomes extremely important due to random events.
-An interesting choice to pick the depression as the time period they jump into. I wonder why the writers chose that? (It's fascinating how old history seems....the depression was only 30 years from then, and this episode is only 40 years from now....)
-Good line: "I can't tell you how to find happiness, but....live on, because it's worth it. "(paraphrased)
-Interesting line: When the woman thinks about what time Spock and Kirk belong to...she says that Spock seems to belong wherever Kirk is, and that Kirk doesn't belong there.
